A wet Kuching City in the Year of the Rat!

It has been rather wet before the Lunar New Year. Somehow, I thought that with the coming of the year of the Rat, the rain will go and the sun will shine... but to our surprises.... the rain keeps pouring in Kuching City!! Till today, we have been seeing more rain than sunshine. We also experienced strong wind with a cool surrounding. Hope that after the 20th day of Chinese New Year the rain will stop. You might ask me why on the 20th day of CNY?? For the older generation people, this has already been a tradition that we have to eat 'Nian Gao' or in another word Chinese New Year Cake on this day. This sweet, sticky cake will prevent the rain from continuously pouring. I really wonder..... how many youngsters really know of this cake in the first place, and how many of them know how to eat this Nian Gao??? Anyway, just give it a thought!!!
